Wednesday was the day I drove down to Athens to take possession of my apartment. I didn't think it was going to be that difficult. Though I didn't relish the idea of leaving my wife in Columbus, things felt really ok at first. I knew I was taking necessary steps for my personal and professional growth. It became difficult when I got to the point of putting things in my car. That's when the reality of the separation hit me.
I cried when I got out onto the road. We had the opportunity over the past summer to spend a lot of time together, to re-strengthen our bond. To anyone who doesn't know me personally, I love my wife as much as I understand how to love another human being. She is my best friend. That said, we are both taking steps to make things better beyond just our relationship. It requires that we focus on our professional and academic development to be ready for the next phase of our life together.
